Gajra Fragrance Oil is a jasmine-based floral scent inspired by the fresh gajra garlands sold outside temples and flower markets. It is a concentrated aroma oil for making candles, soaps, bath and body products and room scents \u2014 not a perfume you apply neat or a food flavour. At Azlok it starts at \u20b9399 and comes in sizes from 100 GM up to 25 KG, so both hobbyists and small businesses can buy sensibly.
What Gajra Fragrance Oil smells like
The scent follows the way a real jasmine bloom unfolds. It opens with a light, fresh floral top note that feels soft and welcoming. The heart is rich jasmine \u2014 the part that gives the oil its unmistakable gajra character. As it settles, the base turns creamy with a slightly indolic edge and gentle musky warmth, which is exactly what makes true jasmine smell alive rather than flat.
Around that core you'll notice delicate hints of rose petals, white plumeria and a few fresh herbal nuances. The overall feel is exotic, tropical and dewy \u2014 cheerful without being heavy. The oil itself is a pale yellow to yellow liquid.

How to use it
Fragrance oils are strong, so a little goes a long way. Always work by weight and follow the guidelines for your specific base and application.
- Candles: a typical fragrance load is around 6\u201310% of the wax weight. Add at the correct pouring temperature for your wax and stir gently but thoroughly.
- Cold-process soap: commonly 2\u20133% of oils. Do a small test batch first, as florals can occasionally speed up or slow down trace.
- Lotions, creams and gels: usually 0.2\u20131%, depending on the product and your safety limits.
- Diffusers: blend with a suitable diffuser base as directed.
Because gajra is a distinctive scent, start on the lower side and increase only if needed. Keep notes on every batch so you can repeat what works.
Safety notes worth reading
This is a concentrated aroma oil meant only for external use. Please treat it with care:
- Do not consume it. It is not a food flavouring or an ingestible product.
- Keep it away from the eyes, as it can irritate.
- Handle the neat oil in a well-ventilated space and avoid prolonged skin contact with the concentrate.
- Patch-test any finished skincare product before regular use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Keep the bottle out of reach of children and pets.
- Follow the IFRA usage limits for each product type; ask for the COA, MSDS and allergen details before large-scale use.
Buying and storage tips
Pick your pack size to match how quickly you'll use it. A 100 GM bottle is ideal for testing scents and small batches, while the 500 GM to 25 KG options suit regular makers and production runs. The listed shelf life is around two years when stored properly.
Store the oil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the cap tightly closed to slow evaporation and protect the aroma. A slight deepening of colour over time is normal for florals and does not necessarily mean the oil has spoiled. Azlok supplies this fragrance oil in India, so you can order the size that fits your project without overstocking.
FAQ
Can I apply Gajra Fragrance Oil directly on my skin as a perfume?
No. It is a concentrated fragrance oil for making products, not a ready-to-wear perfume. Always dilute it into a suitable base and stay within recommended usage levels.
Is this a natural jasmine essential oil?
It is a fragrance oil inspired by the gajra jasmine scent, not a steam-distilled essential oil. That makes it more consistent and cost-effective for candles and cosmetics.
How much should I use in candles?
As a general guide, roughly 6\u201310% of the wax weight. Add it at the right temperature for your wax and always test a small batch first.
Does it work in cold-process soap?
Yes, typically at 2\u20133% of the oils. Since florals can behave unpredictably at trace, make a small test batch before committing to a large one.
How long does it last and how should I store it?
About two years when kept in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed and away from sunlight and heat.
